A 26-year-old Colorado Springs woman was injured Saturday after losing control of her parachute and landing in a ravine east of the designated landing site at the Fremont County Airport.

Erika Shields, who was wearing a helmet at the time was the accident, at about 10 a.m. Saturday, was conscious and talking when she was airlifted to Penrose Hospital in Colorado Springs with cuts and other unconfirmed injuries, a Fremont County Sheriff's Office press release said. A spokesperson for the hospital said at 3 p.m. that she was in stable condition.

Shields told deputies she had skydived about seven times in the past and employees of High Sky Adventures believed she had jumped with their company once several years ago.

It appeared that although Shield's parachute fully deployed, she was having trouble grasping one of the two steering controls on the rigging. Witnesses said two instructors from High Sky Adventures also jumped from the same plane but were unable to assist Shields as she struggled to located the steering control and drifted off course.

On Oct. 13, another skydiver was injured during a night jump with High Sky Adventures.

On April 1, 35-year-old Jeremy Worell of Crested Butte was killed and instructor Greg Whitehurst, 28, of Fountain was seriously injured during a tandem jump with Sky Dive Colorado, another skydiving company based at the Fremont County Airport.
